CEO, SC&H

Pritpal Kalsi, CEO of SC&H, believes that true success lies in helping others achieve their goals.

“I am keenly aware that my primary responsibility is to help others achieve success,” he said. “I try to use humor, curiosity, and persistence to help harness collective team strengths. My goal is to find authentic connections at a human level. I believe successes are outcomes of meaningful journeys — my role is to focus on what makes a journey important and rewarding for each one of us.”

Being intentional about his actions is at the core of Kalsi’s approach to leadership and life. He believes finding inner peace is what makes life meaningful, even in the mundane of the day-to-day.

“If unchecked, most of our life’s routine can be exhausting and take away the precious resource of intentional thought and action,” Kalsi said. “I respect that I don’t control everything, but my priorities are health, family, and being a positive force in the lives of others. I often remind myself that every journey comes with highs and lows. The focus should be on enjoying the highs and riding out the lows without ever losing what is important to our core. In short – be genuine, be present, and be relentlessly persistent towards your life’s goals.”

Over the past five years, SC&H has doubled in size and revenue, solidifying its reputation as a top consulting and financial services firm for startups to Fortune 50 companies. The firm serves 143 of the Fortune 500 companies and 46 of the Fortune 100 companies, with an impressive 83% client retention rate.

Kalsi is passionate about supporting children in overcoming challenges to lead healthy and successful lives. He serves on the board and executive committee for Make-a-Wish Mid-Atlantic and on the advisory board for the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.
